the big decision, as jim mentioned, is still to come. nbc's harry smith got in with a camera crew today, where the con-ed executives were facing what was for them an unprecedented decision. >> reporter: what are you anticipating having to do later on this evening? >> the big question is going to happen at about 8:00 tonight, when we're going to have to make a decision of whether to shut down the financial center of manhatta >> reporter: and what would that be predicated on? >> the water level, tide, we show back there it is forecasted to be somewhere between 11-12 peak. and that would be the highest tide the city has ever seen. >> and that is exactly what jim cantore was talking about. if that happens, if water throws into power systems underground, there goes wall street, it is already supposed to be closed tomorrow. we could be looking worst case at the rest of the week for the beating financial heart of the united states. and certainly, lower manhattan. we want to briefly show you a very rare sight, a live picture, and the -- hurrican
